Customer Reviews

If your eyes can take it, read this book
This is the 3rd book I've read on the Maltese breed. Unlike the other 2 books, this one was ALL about Maltese instead of adding general information on puppy training ect. The book gave some more advanced information on grooming, and more impressively featured serious discussions on showing and breeding your Maltese. The only peeve I have with this book is the extreamily small print..my eyes are still burning! I'd recommend picking up a magnifying glass if you buy this book :) On the positive side, there is a lot of info packed into an 80 page book! Happy Reading.

Great Basic Maltese Book
This is one of the best Basic Maltese books you can read. It gives clear, consise information that the new Maltese owner can understand. I give one of these books to everyone I sell a puppy to.

Readable and organized resource on Maltese with many photos.
This is an affordable and informative book to recommend for new or prospective Maltese owners. It is very readable and enjoyable with a variety of photos- including conformation shows, field trials and puppies, puppies, puppies. Fulda orgazines the book well, starting with a history of the breed and detailing the steps to successfully purchasing and caring for a healthy Maltese true to the breed standard.
